The world I hear is completely different from yours.

In the deathly silence reminiscent of Silent Hill, Uchiha Matsu, fast asleep, suddenly heard a muffled thud. He immediately woke up, rolled out of bed, and grabbed the weapon hidden by his bedside. As a ninja who had carried out countless assassination missions, he could easily recognize the thud as the last warning sound of the guard at the door struggling desperately after his mouth was covered and his throat slit.

"Who's outside?!" Uchiha Matsu asked, both shocked and terrified. This was the core area of ​​the Uchiha clan. Who on earth dared to sneak in here silently, kill his guard, and then stand outside calmly after the killing, as if he wasn't afraid of the Uchiha clan's retaliation if things were exposed?

"It's me." Then, with a chilling murderous intent, the person flung open the door to the room.

"Uchiha Shisui?!" With the powerful perception of his Sharingan, Uchiha Matsu was able to see the other person's appearance clearly in the pitch-black darkness, and shouted angrily, "Do you know what you're doing? Are you betraying your clan?!"

"You are the traitor who betrayed the Uchiha clan!!" Shisui responded angrily, making no attempt to hide his hostility towards the vice-clan leader.

The next moment, with a crisp clang, the two kunai collided heavily, Uchiha against Uchiha, Sharingan against Sharingan!

"Oh? You went to the front lines once, and you're already at the three-tomoe Sharingan?" Uchiha Matsu scoffed, his eyes full of disdain. "However, even though they are both three-tomoe Sharingan, the power they unleash varies drastically depending on the user!"

Uchiha Shisui didn't respond. His Sharingan, which had only recently awakened to the three-tomoe stage, was indeed less proficient than his opponent's. After all, Uchiha Matsu was a powerful figure who had once awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Although he was currently using a pair of transplanted three-tomoe Sharingan, his extensive experience with his eyes, combined with the Eighth Hokage's eye exercises practiced only by the high-ranking members of his clan, allowed him to easily overwhelm Uchiha Shisui in the contest of eye power, gaining the upper hand in every aspect. Shisui could only rely on his slightly faster Body Flicker Technique to maneuver around his opponent, searching for weaknesses in his enemy's defenses.

Meanwhile, throughout the Uchiha clan's territory, shouts of battle and explosions of ninjutsu began to resound. The suppression forces had begun their battle against the die-hard supporters of Uchiha Matsu. The clashes were deafening, and the flashes of light from the explosions even pierced the night sky, illuminating the massive barrier enveloping the Uchiha clan's territory before being completely absorbed by it, without any sound escaping to the outside world!

"You actually brought others in?!" Uchiha Matsu's expression changed drastically upon hearing the explosions around him. He had initially thought the assassination attempt was solely Uchiha Shisui's doing, but it turned out to be an organized and premeditated collective attack!

Then, several of Uchiha Matsu's trusted confidants rushed in, unhesitatingly using a life-or-death fighting style to tightly entangle Uchiha Shisui. They then shouted to Uchiha Matsu, "Vice-Clan Leader, run! Konoha has already broken in under the leadership of those traitors, and the outside can't hold out any longer!!"

"Bastard! How dare you collude with Konoha and betray your clan?!" Uchiha Matsu was filled with murderous intent. As the saying goes, traitors and spies are more hateful than enemies. At this moment, in his mind, he had reached the point where he had to kill Uchiha Shisui as soon as possible.

"I am 'Konoha Ninja' Uchiha Shisui!!" Even when surrounded by several enemies and on the verge of collapse, Uchiha Shisui remained calm and responded firmly.

Even in defeat, one must not lose face; even in death, one hangs oneself in the sky; death is death! I'll be a hero again in eighteen years! In this final moment of life and death, Uchiha Shisui still upheld the noble spirit of "the head may be severed, blood may flow, but the belief must not be lost"—this was his ninja way!

"Well said!!" Tianqing slowly walked in, leaving behind a Uchiha ninja who had been knocked unconscious. She looked at Uchiha Shisui with a "I'm rooting for you" look. As expected of the great ninja who cared about Konoha in the original work, he once again made the right choice between the village and his clan!

"The Third Hokage?" Uchiha Matsu was overjoyed, then rushed towards Ten no Tsuru without hesitation. "You actually dared to come here without any guards? It seems that heaven hasn't forsaken Uchiha Matsu!"

Uchiha Matsu's mind was racing with calculations. If he could capture the Third Hokage before him, he could use her as a hostage to demand the withdrawal of the Konoha forces. If he could buy a short period of time, he could then use the opportunity to incite his remaining subordinates to rally the entire Uchiha clan and bring them all under his control. With the Uchiha clan's power, he could launch a counterattack against Konoha or defect to another village. At the very least, he could use this force to establish his own ninja village in a small place!

As for the Third Hokage's actual strength, although the villagers widely regarded her as "the strongest Hokage of all time," Uchiha Matsu didn't take her seriously at all. The reason is simple: this Third Hokage was active in the last Shinobi World War. Although she meticulously disguised her appearance as a young girl, her actual age was roughly the same as that of veterans like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura. Therefore, theoretically, her strength should have already plummeted!

Of course, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Although the Third Hokage's strength has declined considerably, he should still possess the combat power of an elite Jonin. Therefore, just in case, Uchiha Matsu directly activated Izanagi, preparing to take down Tenmei at the cost of one eye. After all, as the vice-clan leader, he has quite a few spare Sharingan!

P.S. This is the third update, making up for yesterday's missed post. Please continue to add to your favorites and recommend! O(∩_∩)O

Chapter Sixty: A terrifying girl who can make you appear on a deathbed flashback with just a glare.

"Don't be impulsive! Vice Clan Leader!!" Several of Uchiha Matsu's trusted confidants shouted in alarm when they saw Uchiha Matsu charging straight toward Tenqing. They had just witnessed Tenqing fighting his way in step by step. If Tenqing hadn't unintentionally hurt anyone, there would probably be rivers of blood and corpses everywhere outside!

But it was all too late!

How could Uchiha Matsu's meticulously prepared, charged attack be halted by a few warnings from his mere subordinates? As a former powerhouse, his pride wouldn't allow him to desert his post in the face of battle. Moreover, he had just activated the Uchiha's forbidden technique, Izanagi. This forbidden technique, which comes at the cost of permanent blindness in one Sharingan, is the ultimate genjutsu that allows him to stand up and continue attacking unscathed, no matter how fatal the injury he suffers!

In that instant, Uchiha Matsu, who had rushed to Ame, suddenly found that time around him had stopped. His body was frozen in mid-air, his weapon poised to strike Ame, slowly stabbing towards her. Meanwhile, his trusted confidants around him gaped, slowly uttering sentences that were incomprehensible due to their slow pace. The distant explosions and flames seemed exceptionally far away, as if time in the entire world had slowed down at that moment!

"Is this the opponent's genjutsu? No, my Sharingan didn't detect anything unusual! There's absolutely no genjutsu in this world that can go undetected by the Sharingan! Could this be some kind of bloodline limit?" Uchiha Matsu thought quickly, one hypothesis after another appearing in his mind only to be overturned. Just when he was completely baffled, his past daily life suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Then, his entire life flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, as if a grim reaper had suddenly reached into his brain, flipped through his memories, and intended to use them to decide whether he should go to heaven or hell.

"Huh? What's going on? I only glanced at the Third Hokage, and now my body is automatically playing out my dying moments???"

Then, the most unforgettable thing in Uchiha Matsu's life began to appear completely in his mind.

That was right after they graduated from the Ninja Academy. At that time, she confessed her feelings to him, but Uchiha Matsu rejected her because, at that time, he only cared about power and authority within the Uchiha clan.

Time flew by, and several years later, he returned from his long-term mission, bringing with him numerous achievements. At the victory celebration banquet, he proposed to her.

She asked him, "Why didn't you accept my confession back then?"

He said, "We were both young back then. I wanted to be your final destination, not your first love. After all, only now do we understand what love is."

A thunderous applause and cheers erupted! The surrounding crowd erupted in applause!

.

Then, she said to a little boy next to her, "Son, come here, Mom will introduce you to this uncle named Uchiha Matsu."

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Then, Uchiha Matsu's consciousness went dark.

Of course, what was a tragic moment for Uchiha Matsu was, in the eyes of others, merely a fleeting instant. It was only because of the replay of his deathbed visions that time seemed to pass slowly for him. To those around him, in the instant before Uchiha Matsu lunged at Tenmei, he was already torn to pieces, his body splattering with blood, and no one even saw how Tenmei had made her move!

The next moment, the forbidden technique *Izanagi* was activated!

Uchiha Matsu opened his eyes again and charged at Tenqing without hesitation. This time, he was determined to see through Tenqing's attack patterns! As long as he had Izanagi, he could use an unlimited number of lives to find weaknesses in his opponent's attacks until he finally defeated him!

"Was it Izanagi?" Tianqing sighed. "And when you pounced on me earlier, you also used your Sharingan to cast a genjutsu on me in an attempt to interfere with my actions, right? To be honest, you Uchiha clan people really are all like this, never giving up until you see the Yellow River, never shedding tears until you see the coffin."

Then, Uchiha Matsu finally saw clearly the blue figure that had suddenly appeared behind Ame!

It was a humanoid puppet with blue skin, only the upper body, about the height of two people, and a pair of muscular arms.

Without a sound, the figure's arm suddenly disappeared.

Obelisk the Giant Warrior *Gum-Gum Fruit *Gear Second!!

No! The arm didn't disappear; it was just that the punch was too fast to see! Even with Uchiha Matsu's extraordinary perception from his three-tomoe Sharingan, he couldn't discern the trajectory of the blue figure's punch!

Then, Uchiha Matsu collapsed to the ground, but unlike last time, this time he didn't die. He had only taken a thousand perfectly timed punches from the Giant God Soldier in an instant, shattering all his bones, yet he still retained a considerable amount of life, only unable to move or speak, and could only stare blankly awaiting death.

"So if I beat you up like this, you won't be able to activate Izanagi, right?" Tianqing said quietly, with an expression that said, "I've seen this kind of thing many times before."

The forbidden technique *Izanagi* allows the Sharingan to record the user's state the instant the ninjutsu is activated. Then, within the technique's effective duration, if the user suffers a fatal injury, the Sharingan can physically restore the user to the state recorded in the Sharingan's record, regardless of the injury received, including death. In short, it's like having the Sharingan automatically reload the save file after the user dies.

Therefore, for enemies who automatically reload their saves after death, Ameyo's solution is to instantly render them unable to care for themselves without killing them, leaving them lying on the ground barely alive and unable to reload their saves. Since they cannot move, they cannot commit suicide and are forced to reload their saves, leaving them helplessly waiting for the duration of Izanagi to end before finally dying from their severe injuries.

Chapter 61: Bedwetting Uchiha Fugaku has turned into a brat.

Finally, when Uchiha Matsu stopped breathing and was completely defeated, his trusted subordinates also laid down their weapons and stopped resisting. After all, the forbidden technique Izanagi was not something that everyone could do. As a forbidden technique, only a very small number of Uchiha ninjas were capable of mastering it. Therefore, these rebels had no means to turn the tide.

As the saying goes, when fortune comes, one is free as the heavens and earth; when fortune goes out, one collapses like a sick person pulling at a thread. When things reach such a dead end, there are only a few loyal followers willing to die with their leader. Most of the rest will choose to surrender in order to survive.

After all, no matter how wise and powerful a leader of a force may be, there are always few followers who are willing to risk their lives for him, such as fanatics and death squads. Even the young idols in Tian Qing's previous life, who had tens of thousands of fans, were the same. Only a very small number of fans were willing to go to great lengths to have abortions for their idols.

"It's all over now." Tianqing stood on the wall, looking at the smoke and fire of the Uchiha clan's territory, and mentally estimated the losses suffered by Konoha this time.

This time, although the Konoha army, with the support of the Uchiha ninja led by Uchiha Shisui, achieved a victory with a considerable advantage, it was a Pyrrhic victory. The Konoha ninjas were not invincible, and naturally, a considerable number of them were killed or wounded. In addition, the casualties of the Uchiha clan further reduced the strength of the entire Konoha village.

However, a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. To prevent the localized lesion from spreading throughout the body, timely surgical removal is still quite necessary. In the original story, if Hiruzen Sarutobi had been able to make the decisive decision to kill those anti-Konoha elements within the Uchiha clan while the Sannin, Minato Namikaze, and other Konoha powerhouses were still present, he might have been able to prevent the later mass rebellion of the Uchiha clan.

当然，一味的武力镇压也是不可取的，那么做只会让招致越来越多的反对者，因此在狠狠地揍了宇智波一族之后，接下来天晴就会马上开启原谅怀柔模式，对大部分的投降者予以宽大处理，让所有的宇智波一族都感受到来自于木叶村的“慈爱与温暖”，从而让这些宇智波忍者再次感激涕零地回到木叶大家庭戴罪立功。

The ability to give a good kick followed by a sweet treat is a fundamental skill that every qualified leader must learn.

"So, Minato Namikaze, all the tasks of dealing with prisoners and putting them to trial are now yours," Tensei said casually, preparing to relinquish his responsibilities. After all, with a capable subordinate like Minato Namikaze to share the chores, Tensei was happy to have some free time.

"Lord Hokage, I'm afraid I'm not quite suitable," Minato Namikaze said, looking hesitant.

"What's inappropriate?" Tianqing asked in surprise, then slapped her forehead in remembrance, "Is it because of Obito Uchiha?"

Minato Namikaze, whose student Obito Uchiha's entire family was persecuted by the Uchiha clan to the point of "defection," was sent by the Hokage to handle all matters related to the Uchiha clan's rebels. This could easily be seen by the Uchiha clan as a sign that Konoha wanted to settle scores later, potentially causing panic within the Uchiha clan and triggering a series of upheavals and conflicts.

“Then let the Uchiha clan assist you. How about this, let Uchiha Shisui help you with this. With the rising star of the Uchiha clan by your side, the Uchiha clan shouldn't have any other suspicions,” Tianqing added. Then she looked at Namikaze Minato: “Although I don't need to remind you, Minato, you must remember that in the following matters, you absolutely cannot harbor any prejudice against the Uchiha clan because of Uchiha Obito, understand?”

"I understand, Hokage-sama." Minato Namikaze nodded. Always intelligent, he naturally understood what Tianqing meant. Only a small number of high-ranking Uchiha members had persecuted Obito Uchiha, and it had nothing to do with the majority of the Uchiha clan. Therefore, Minato Namikaze had to be careful in the upcoming trial to avoid arousing the resentment of the Uchiha clan, especially the Konoha supporters led by Shisui Uchiha.

It's fair to say that skillfully coordinating the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village is a problem every Hokage must face. In the original story, if Minato Namikaze hadn't died so quickly in his second year in office, he too would have begun to address the Uchiha clan's issues.

Now, the clear weather is just a way for him to get a head start on this issue.

After confirming that Minato Namikaze had accepted the mission, Ameyo headed towards Haruno Uchiha's house, intending to first visit her old teammate, and then go to Fugaku Uchiha's house to see the Uchiha clan leader who was being "confined" by the vice-clan leader, and ask him a few more questions.

After not seeing each other for a while, Tianqing discovered that her old teammate, the once lively and energetic Uchiha Mai, had become increasingly old.

"I'm sorry, Tenmei, I couldn't stop them." Uchiha Haruno sat in the room, looking remorseful as he spoke to Tenmei.

Tian Qing shook her head: "This is not your fault. These young people have grown up and feel that they are capable enough, so they want to jump out and test their abilities. This is a very normal thing."

"It's definitely my fault. As his aunt, I should have realized this sooner." Uchiha Haruno lowered her head and muttered to herself, "If I had discovered this sooner, perhaps so many people wouldn't be dead now..."

“How can there be so many ‘what ifs’ in the world? If I had known earlier, I should have changed his diapers with lots of burrs when he was little, right?” Tian Qing laughed.

"Pfft!" Uchiha Haruno couldn't help but chuckle bitterly. "I'm really defeated by you, Tenqing. You really take things easy."

Then Tianqing stood up, waved goodbye to Uchiha Haruno, and said, "Let's talk again when we have time. I have to go see this unruly diaper kid now."

Yes, after carefully reviewing the details of Uchiha Matsu's betrayal, both Tensei and Uchiha Haruno realized the following question: Was Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan, truly unaware of the actions of his vice-head? As a clan head with numerous supporters and a large number of direct subordinates within the Uchiha clan, could Uchiha Fugaku really be so easily placed under house arrest by his vice-head?

"I can't believe that little bedwetting brat has grown up so much," Tian Qing thought coldly to herself. "But it's time to show you how adults deal with those unruly kids!"

P.S. Extra update, a bit late, I went swimming today.

P.S. The pool water tastes awful!!!

Chapter Sixty-Two: Itachi Uchiha's Tears, the Water of West Lake

By dawn, the shouts of battle outside had subsided, and the Uchiha clan territory had once again fallen into the tranquility unique to daylight. However, none of the Uchiha clan members who had listened to the sounds of battle all night had the courage to close their eyes and go back to sleep, but no one dared to openly jump out and ask questions of the ninjas who were busy cleaning up the battlefield.

The silencing barrier that had been placed around the Uchiha clan before the battle had been dispelled. As a result, the people living near the Uchiha clan's territory were surprised to find that, just one night later, the once prosperous Uchiha clan's territory was now in ruins, covered in bloodstains, and looked like a battlefield that had just experienced a major battle.

However, seeing the Konoha ninjas with murderous expressions guarding the clan's territory, the people around instinctively hid in their homes and didn't dare to go out, waiting for the village's announcement. Presumably, the village would later tell all the residents of Konoha what had happened last night.

Fugaku Uchiha knelt motionless before his desk in his study, his expression grave. Every morning, upon waking, Fugaku would ask his wife to brew him a steaming cup of tea to fully awaken his mind and prepare him for the new day. But now, the cup of his favorite tea on the table was long since cold, and he had no desire to even take a sip.

In fact, Fugaku Uchiha hadn't slept a wink all night, sitting in his study, listening blankly to the shouts and screams coming from outside.

Uchiha Mikoto stood beside her husband, looking at him with concern. As the wife of the clan leader, she lacked political acumen and was unaware of national affairs, but she could keenly judge the current situation by observing her husband's emotions.

Although she didn't know what her husband was planning or what role he had played during this time, she had never seen him show such a tense expression during the period when her family was under house arrest and unable to leave the house.

In fact, during that period of house arrest, Fugaku Uchiha always maintained a calm and composed expression, as if everything was under his control. It was as if he, as the clan leader, was not being house-locked and stripped of all power by the vice-clan leader, but rather that he had voluntarily stepped back from the limelight, letting the vice-clan leader take the lead while he himself secretly issued orders without attracting attention.

Until last night, when Fugaku Uchiha heard the shouts of battle coming from outside, he was stunned. He hurriedly ran outside, but was stopped by the Konoha Anbu guarding the door. According to the two Konoha Anbu, this was to "protect" the safety of the Uchiha clan leader and they were asked to stay at home and wait.

But previously, it was clearly two Uchiha ninjas directly under the vice-clan leader who were "protecting" their safety. When did the Konoha Anbu start taking responsibility for the Uchiha clan's safety as well?

Then, Mikoto Uchiha discovered that her husband had been sitting at the table all night, with a solemn expression she had never seen before, as if he was thinking about something.

...................

As Ame walked into the courtyard of the Uchiha Fugaku family, she immediately spotted Uchiha Itachi crouching in a corner, looking down at something.

Children who are ninjas mature quite early; some can run and jump as young as four or five. Not only can they think rationally like adults, but many are also geniuses who have mastered numerous ninjutsu techniques. Although Uchiha Itachi is not yet that age, he has already shown intelligence and rationality that are different from ordinary children.
